Let’s think about how to either keep from getting the virus or how to get over it over it once we got it. Apparently we can keep from getting it by staying in the steam room or maybe the warm pool room of one of Trump’s resorts. Several times Trump said heat and high humidity will kill it. If that was true it wouldn’t have been in the southern hemisphere’s summer. Brazil’s death toll is rapidly climbing. Its heat and humidity hasn’t slowed it.

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern went straight to the countrywide lockdown when the virus first appeared. Today they have no cases and a fully functioning economy. Why? They paid attention to what the WHO said and didn’t keep calling it a hoax as people died.

As people died here, our President partied, campaigned, denied, and said he had everything under control. With over 61,000 dead and increasing, he still is patting himself on the back by saying it would have been much worse without him in charge!

Of course, we can’t overlook the medicinal remedies he has espoused as cures. They have been promoted by his celebrity friends before the FDA said supposed cures didn’t help and could be dangerous. Commonsense says don’t put household cleaners into the body or stick a u-v light up your butt. Still thousands called their local, state and federal poison control agencies.

We are behind the eight ball while those countries that reacted quickly are opening up. Almost all New Zealanders love Ardern for her quick action on guns and the virus. We, on the other hand, are greatly divided and can’t believe our leadership.
